Yes, however:
Changing your grip on a weapon, such as going from wielding a two-handed weapon with both hands to holding it in one hand, is a swift action.
You can have a glove weapon like a Battleglove, and a longarm weapon equipped, however it is a swift action to move to holding the gun in one hand and attack with the glove weapon.
If you want to be able to attack while both hands are full, Improved Unarmed Strike is an option, as it lets you make unarmed attacks while both hands are full.

Just to clarify, you would not, however, be able to use the glove weapon without shifting your grip on the longarm with a swift action, even if you had Improved Unarmed Strike. IUS assumes that you're attacking with another part of the body; a headbutt or elbow strike or kick (or tail slap for Vesk).

Yes. My bad for not clarifying that one. I stated it more as an "if this is your goal" rather than with the gauntlet specifically.

Thanks for the replys.
My idead behind this was for my Ranged Soldier (bombard) to have a melee option at the ready if he is in a position that ranged is not the best option.
What I do when I have a longarm, heavy weapon, or unwieldy melee weapon equipped but still want to make Attacks of Opportunity is use my swift action at the end of the round to drop a hand off the weapon. Then at the start of the next round I re-grip with another swift action.
